Pinewood At The Madejski !!!!!!!

March saw two sets of Pinewood teams at the Madejski Stadium ... they weren't playing  but one set formed the guard of honour as the teams came out,  the others entertained the crowd at half-time with some superb goal scoring !!

U7's Entertain The Crowd At The Bristol City Game: Rich Cheney. It was a special day out and the kids loved it.  We hired a big yellow school bus from Fernhill as well – club colours!! 

U11's Form Guard Of Honour For The Derby game: Web-Manager's Note.  Although a Reading Season Ticket Holder I missed this game as I was in the USA.  I got a text message from my lad though, who was at the game, "You're not going to believe this Dad !!  Pinewood are on !!!"

U10 Panthers win East Berks Div 2 Fair Play Trophy

I am delighted to announce that the U10 Panthers have won the East Berks Div 2 fair play trophy. Every week the managers have to give the opposition a fair play score and at the end of the season the team with the top marks are awarded a Trophy at the leagues presentation evening.

As you know, I take fair play very seriously as I firmly believe that it creates a much better environment for our boys to learn and to enjoy their football and I always give this a higher priority than winning, so as you can imagine I am over the moon that we have won this award.

The fair play marks aren't just given for the players, but they also include marks awarded for the parents/spectators and the coaches, so it really is a team award for everyone involved with the Panthers, well done to everyone.

We were invited to attend the East Berks Presentation Evening to receive our awards on Tuesday 12th May 7.30 pm at Blue Mountain Golf Club.
